During the 1990s, Antonine Maillet signed several Shakespearean translations for the Théâtre du Rideau Vert in Montréal. Her work enters the theoretical debate on the glottopolitical role played by theatre within the framework of canon revision and reformulation in post-colonial contexts. The aim of this study is to provide an analysis of the peritexts of theatrical programmes, usually overlooked in translation criticism, which indeed contribute to renew the repertoire through the application of translation practices to the theatrical text.

The Journal de traduction written by Marie‑Hélène Dumas during the translation of The Republic of Imagination by Azar Nafisi falls within an intermediate paratextual position between brouillon and métadiscours, where it is no longer the critic‑reader who establishes the bermanian translation horizon, but it is instead the author who spells out a project supported by a dual perception of authorship. As such, it is worth observing it in light of the recent interest of Translation Studies in the field of genetics of translation.
